I'm not suggesting a plain soft-block. I'm

treatment. For instance, we can handle sockpuppetry by marking edits
made through tor as such in recent changes. When users have their
edits revealed as made through tor, they'll go back to their open
proxy farms which aren't as easily identified. I'm not sure how we sit
with this in terms of the privacy policy, however.
The privacy policy only restricts the dissemination of information
that could be used to identify an editor. The mere fact that someone
is editing using Tor provides no such information. Indeed, posting
the IP address of the exit node wouldn't be a privacy problem. That's
the whole point of Tor, after all. :)
